Steven

Before being employed at Gwasg Pia through Jobs Growth Wales, Steven had been struggling to get into employment and was signing on at his local Job Centre Plus. Through the scheme, he quickly found employment with Gwasg Pia for an initial 26-week period.

Steven contributed immensely to the rate of improvement within the business and was complement by his manager as “Exceeding all expectations set”. Which in turn has resulted in him being given a full time contract with the company after his experiences on Jobs Growth Wales came to an end.

Steven has been greatly appreciative towards having the opportunity to get into employment thanks to the combined effort of the Jobs Growth Wales scheme and 3SC. Prior to being employed, Steven had suffered from a lack of confidence due to the repeat failures of getting past the interview stage. Through the combined effort from 3SC and Gwasg Pia his confidence has taken a turn for the better.

“3SC staff has provided constant support and advice over the phone and email.” Had been reiterated by Steven on several occasions alongside“ 3SC has provided more support than I have had whilst signing on or consulting the Job Centre.

Testimonials

"Hampshire Cultural Trust are a relatively new 'delivery organisation' and working with 3SC has really embedded good practice and robust systems. Jo Rowe has been very supportive and set out clear expectations during the due diligence, contract negotiations and on-going monitoring. She has really helped us to make sense of the hefty monthly contract performance reviews. Thanks to 3SC we feel we are well supported to deliver a clear and realistic programme.

"As a senior leader with oversight of a number of contracts commissioned by my organisation, I am pleased to provide a very positive assessment of the support given to me by 3SC. The organisation is robust and disciplined in its approach to contract management and lead the way at review in ensuring that providers are contract compliant.
The deep dives that are a regular feature of the work ensure that quality information which is specific and measurable is provided to me. Moreover, the detailed knowledge of potential out sourcing provides considerable added value in terms of development and networking. Requests for information from within my organisation are provided in a timely and efficient manner.
The data is presented in an easy read format and any requests for further detail is always enthusiastically received. Personnel within 3SC are approachable. I have been impressed with their willingness to learn the business outside of the contract arena this making the negotiations with partner organisations a meaningful and organic experience for all concerned.
Most importantly, I have witnessed proactive responses by 3SC in terms of helping smaller potential providers upskill systems and processes within a due diligence context to win contracts that they may well not have won without the expertise provided by 3SC.

"We are delighted to be working with 3SC. They have been supportive and demonstrated clearly what we need to do, and have helped us with this.
They are focused on quality performance and I hope our working relationship can become even closer providing mutual benefit, and enabling more blind and partially sighted people to obtain and retain employment.

"The Society of St James has been working with 3SC for a couple of years now.
I have found the support and guidance from Jo Rowe invaluable as to providing structure and advice in the collation and recording of information.
This in turn has helped me immensely in fine tuning our service and to be able to see at a glance where our strengths and weaknesses lie.
Thanks to advice given, I have been able to improve the monitoring of my teams and implement positive changes in areas such as support planning and risk assessments.
I also feel that this partnership experience has improved my professional capacity as a manager and feel more confident in leading a team and providing a quality service to our clients

Mark Gray - Team Leader, Society of St James

"Delivering the SES contract has been our first formal relationship with 3SC and it has allowed our organisation to branch out into additional Welfare to Work delivery alongside our Work Choice and other contracts. Our relationship with 3SC has been very open and honest and we feel that we have gained a lot whilst also helping 3SC to develop the programme and the structure of the contract, for the benefit of our customers. We look forward to new opportunities where we can work in partnership and make best use of our skills and experience of supporting disabled and disadvantaged people into sustainable employment.
